Oh, I'll No More Go A-Roaming (Feferi's Song)
(lily)Oh, I’ll No More Go A-Roaming (Feferi’s Song) - art and words by roachpatrol and urbananchorite, music and performance by lily
hi i’m lily and i’m a hemostuck addict
here’s my interpretation of a really cool song from “lost teeth like white jewels”
growing up in a sailor family makes it pretty easy to write shanties… this is the most stereotypical melody for one though adjfghad;fjg
lyrics:
Oh, I’ll no more go a-roaming,
In the dark and in the gloaming
for I know now where my hive is
and it’s back to shore for me!Sweeps I’ve gone a-sailing,
Left my moirail dockside wailing,
but I know now where my hive is
and it’s back to land for me!Seas I’ve been a-traveling
and my soul it’s been unraveling
but I know now where my hive is
and it’s to your arms for me.
Listen
Oh hey there
Capricorn’s Lullaby from Hemostuck by UrbanAnchorite and roachpatrol.
Melody/arrangement, baritone ukulele (hipsterrrr) and vocals by me.
I love this AU, you guys.
F1X 1T F1C
uA and I occasionally amuse ourselves by deploying Dave and Terezi, Master Betas, to ‘repair’ (= annihilate) works of fanfiction.
For my 1000th Tumblr post, here’s a couple of short extracts: in which I sternly tell Lost Teeth Like White Jewels that it should have brushed more carefully, and in which she takes Strider’s Edge in for adjustments.
02. Roachpatrol, urbanAnchorite
This week on TPI, paraTactician interviews eminent pornographer Roach ‘Roachpatrol’ Patrol and notorious clown addict urbanAnchorite about “The Fisher-Prince,” currently the canonical first story in their richly-imagined Hemostuck AU — a world in which red and brown blood is a badge of aristocracy, and purple blood the mark of outcasts. Read on for Discworld, systemic inequality, disappearing oranges, and kissing on the face!
There’s something really beautifully horrible too about such co-dependency, that Feferi would die or go mad without Eridan, that she’s trapped — and trapped resentfully — on the Corbenic, and that Eridan’s instant gut reaction to the idea of Feferi dying is to want to kill himself. That’s like an exploding railcar disaster of a romance — beautiful and no fun at all for anyone involved but damn it’s good drama. But they do love each other. They’ve probably hated each other some, in that whole mess, but it’s nice to have a world where they can love each other so much.
Hemostuck continues in “Lost Teeth Like White Jewels,” and has its own Tumblr here.

Feferi's Song
operamaticFeferi’s Song from “Lost Teeth Like White Jewels” by roachpatrol and urbananchorite
Oh, I’ll no more go a-roaming,
In the dark and in the gloaming
for I know now where my hive is
and it’s back to shore for me!Sweeps I’ve gone a-sailing,
Left my moirail dockside wailing,
but I know now where my hive is
and it’s back to land for me!Seas I’ve been a-traveling
and my soul it’s been unraveling
but I know now where my hive is
and it’s to your arms for me.
Please forgive my amateur guitar playing.
I’m sure that the song in the fic is supposed to be more shanty-ish but this is what I came up with and totally did NOT spend 5 hours attempting to record with my shitty computer microphone.

03. lantadyme
This week on TPI, urbanAnchorite interviews lantadyme on “Hold Your Colour.” Read on for a Homestuck fandom history lesson, vicious Sadstuck, and thoughts on Striders!
Well, Stridercest sure is popular lately, but besides that! I think it’s changed a little since Dirk’s personality reveal. I was always for the idea that Bro had been abusive to Dave in certain ways. Not that he didn’t love him, and not that he didn’t care an incredible amount for him - the dude died to give his little bro some extra time. But sometimes the ways Dave did not feel safe at home or around his brother seem to get left out of fic. They care, but they’re not buddy-buddy at all.
I'll no more go a roaming
Just finished the latest chapter of roachpatrol and urbananchorite’s “Lost Teeth Like White Jewels,” and I decided I’d join in on the “Oh I’ll no more go a-roaming” writing fun! Mine is Irish-inspired and was recorded at 2 AM. I DO WHAT I WANT.
Lyrics were written by roachpatrol and urbananchorite but that is me singing and playing the guitar ;o
